I think this is the key to the whole thing ... the yorkie owner didn't act. A sharp "stop it" to the yorkie may have been all that was needed.

Maybe the yorkie is a lot like Jack - just likes to be heard? Only the owner of him/her could comment on this. When Jack is playing, regardless of whether its with Lucy, another dog, our cat, or even me, his sound could be interpreted by an outsider as 'aggressive" although he is anything but.
